Chapter 112 Did Something Extraordinary to Him
Freya pursed her lips as she lifted her gaze to him. In the man's eyes, there were countless stars, shining brilliantly beyond the horizon, so captivating.
She suddenly reached out and touched his face, her voice soft, "Then, can you take off your mask and let me see your true face?"
Bradley trembled.
Then, he laughed uncontrollably, "Are you sure your birthday wish is just to see my face? Freya, you only have one chance, do you want to waste it on something like this?"
Freya thought for a moment and felt it was right.
If Bradley wanted to take off his mask, he would naturally do so voluntarily. There must be a reason why he concealed his true identity, something difficult for him to reveal.
Why would she expose it?
Even if he turned out to be the person she imagined, so what?
He was ultimately not someone she wanted to provoke!
"Okay, I've thought of it. I'll tell you."
Since he insisted, why should she miss such a good opportunity?
She had too many birthday wishes, but she had already decided. After avenging her mother, she would 'divorce' Bradley with this wish!
…
In the ancestral hall.
Arthur and Lydia sat together, while Jinny, still weak from illness, was lying asleep on the sofa.
"Arthur, are you really going to give up the position of CEO and let that cripple take everything from you?"
Lydia was vehemently unwilling. After years of planning, they had finally succeeded in driving Bradley out of the old mansion. Yet, now, this cripple suddenly regained his sight and expressed his desire to return to the company.
Bradley's ability had always been strong. If he really came back, Arthur would only become his lackey.
Arthur was also very anxious and frustrated. "What should we do then? This is Dad's decision. Do you want me to defy Dad?"
"Your dad is so stubborn. Once he decides something, he won't change it. With your abilities, you will eventually be stepped on by Bradley! Since this matter is already a foregone conclusion, why don't we replay the old story and first deal with Bradley." Lydia's face was full of malice. The fire that failed to kill Bradley in the past had now become a disaster.
As long as Bradley wasn't eliminated, not only would Arthur fail to rise, but Ethan would also be oppressed. She would not allow herself to be inferior to others, so Bradley must die.
Arthur nervously said, "Lydia, the matter was blown out of proportion back then. Don't think that no one suspected us. Since that incident is in the past, let's not bring it up again. We should think of another way. Perhaps there will be a turning point."
"What turning point? Bradley is about to take your place as CEO. Your dad, that old stubborn man, even wants to make Ethan suffer under James. I won't allow my son to be inferior! Anyway, unless you can regain the position of CEO and make Ethan push James out, this matter will only be handled as I say."
Lydia was fierce and domineering. Even if her son was useless, she still wanted to lift him to the pinnacle of power.
Arthur is useless; she didn't have much hope for him. Now she's counting on this son to provide her with a peaceful old age.
"Even if I agree to go along with this, we're currently trapped here. How do you expect me to take action? Moreover, Bradley has already been dealt a blow once. Do you think he's naive enough to allow himself to be manipulated again by us?"
Arthur, feeling agitated, gripped his hair. He wanted Bradley dead more than anyone else, but what options did he have now?
Being trapped here, with the old man saying they could leave at will, he feels no different from a worthless coward.
"Don't worry, isn't Ethan still outside? I'll delegate this task to him!" Lydia grinned smugly. "Bradley isn't naive, but Freya appears to be feigning ignorance. So, if Freya encounters danger, will Bradley stand aloof, or will he risk his life to save her?"
"What’s your plan?"
Arthur asked as he approached, listening to Lydia whispering in his ear.
After listening, Arthur hugged her and kissed her, "Okay, I'll listen to you. As long as we can get rid of that cripple and even drag that fool along, everything in the Austin family will be ours."
Lydia fell into his arms, her eyes revealing a malicious smile.
…
They spent the night in the old mansion.
At first, Freya was resting on the sofa while Bradley slept on the bed. However, when she awoke early in the morning, she discovered herself nestled in Bradley's arms, clinging to him tightly as if she were an octopus.
Freya was wide awake instantly, trying to break free from his embrace.
Bradley acted quickly, pulling her into his embrace. He wore his sleepwear loosely, with his belt undone. Her face rested against his firm chest, where she could faintly detect his alluring masculine scent.
Freya's face flushed instantly, even her heartbeat couldn't be controlled.
There was a living person beside her, and she was completely unaware, sleeping so soundly.
"I was sleeping on the sofa, right? How did I end up in your arms?"
Seeing her blush, Bradley narrowed his eyes slightly and smirked, "I'm not very mobile. Of course, you climbed onto the bed yourself!"
Hearing that, Freya's blush deepened, and she pushed his chest lightly, attempting to get up while struggling.
She was so nervous she felt like she was suffocating.
Bradley chuckled and continued, "You sleep restlessly, cuddling and kissing me. You said you wouldn't let me touch you, but then you came over to seduce me. Do you women like playing hard to get?"
Freya indeed slept on the sofa last night. Taking advantage of her sound sleep, Bradley carried her over to the bed.
She was obviously dreaming, with drools coming out of her mouth and a seductive smile. He couldn't help but kiss her for a while.
Originally, it was expected that he would awaken her, but she proved to be a deep sleeper, simply nestling her head into his arm and continuing to sleep undisturbed.
Her sleeping posture was indeed improper. Not only did she drool, but she also rubbed against his neck, tormenting him several times to control himself from taking her, but in the end, he still held back.
Since he promised not to touch her, he naturally would keep his promise.
Freya's face was burning hot. She had climbed into his bed and even done something out of line to him?
Carefully recalling last night's events in her mind. She felt very cold, and waves of warmth came from beside her. She uncontrollably approached the warm place.
Who knew that the one lying next to him was Bradley.
But she really didn't play hard to get!
Seeing her conflicted expression, Bradley smiled and turned over to look at her, "Freya, if you really can't stand it, you don't have to endure it."
His warm breath lingered in her ears, and Freya was feverish. When she realized what he meant, her mind went completely blank.
"I don't."
She would not admit that she climbed into his bed and did something outrageous to him.
Bradley's room was very large. Even if his legs were inconvenient, he could still easily carry her to bed while sitting in a wheelchair.
So she is certain that last night was definitely not her initiative!
